Default Mustang's new? Super Touring Seat

Anyone purchase this seat? I am 6'5" and need to get away from the bars, and this new? seat claims to push you back 1.75". I would love to hear from anyone that has one!

I checked their website, guess that seat must be for newer HD's than my 2005. Sounds interesting.

I don't have that seat but I do have the Ultra Touring seat on my Road Glide. When you do buy a seat, keep in mind that the Mustang seat cover material will not match your backrest. So, you may end up with something like I have. Total cost for seat, rider backrest, passenger backrest, and lid covers.
$1,200.

Im a big fan of Mustang seats, but since this one is new, I don't have any personal experience. However, if you purchase DIRECT from Mustang, they will let you return it within 10 days if you don't like it. (and don't damage it)

ONLY if you purchase direct from them. IMHO, the extra you pay is worth the insurance of not getting stuck with a seat you may not like.

I can say this, at 19" wide, its a BIG seat. I've seen some of their prior 19" wide touring seats on bikes, and they are pretty big. (mine is one of the 17" wide models) However, being your well over six feet tall, unless your a slim build, it could probably be just what you need.

I ordered one form BikeHaven today. Sounds like it would solve the issue of feeling cramped onthe LTD. Can't be worse than the stock seat, for reach or comfort.
